Why Does Lorde Hate Her Own Song "Royals"?

25 May 2014

International breakout artist Lorde rose to fame after her single "Royals" took off and blew up the charts! However, why does the slinky songstress dislike her own song?!

Lorde tells Britain's Daily Record Newspaper: "I listen to people covering the song and putting their own spin on it, and I listen to it in every single form except the one I put out...and I realize that actually it sounds horrible!"

The song, which won two Grammy Awards for 'Song of the Year' and 'Best Pop Solo Performance' in January has since propelled Lorde into the music stratosphere, but unfortunately it doesn't mean she likes it.

"It sounds like a ringtone from a 2006 Nokia!" she joked "None of the melodies are cool or good! It's disastrous. Awful... But for some reason, in the context of the way I released it, it just worked."
